It would be a scary future indeed if we found a giant dyson hurtling towards us each time we try to cross the road. That’s exactly what designer Ashley Cichocki has in mind with his M.01 concept car that folds in on itself when stationary to maximize parking space.

The design utilizes super stretchy fabrics over a pneumatic skeleton to facilitate the strange morphing action, which reminds me a lot of BMW’s GINA Light Visionary Model.

At speed, the body stretches out to provide more stability and contracts to squeeze into a parking space as small as two meters.

As with most car concepts these days, it is designed to be environmentally friendly and would run on hydrogen from a tank stashed in the rear of the body.
